well, not really an "intake"

we popped a kn on the car, and made a nifty little bracket.

im strapping the car down now for some testing.





ill let you know what it does.

Nice Chad,

Looking forward to seeing how that "new" style K&N works out. I was eyeing those for our kit as well.

Only thing I would be worried about in that position is the radiator fan washing the top of the filter with hot air.

 

ok testing is done...

ill post results in a minute.

this is the X with the MBC (set to 20.5 psi)

versus stock solenoid at 22 psi

this was after we tightened the WG actuator, and you can see that the car definetly holds more boost up top, with less taper..

also notice the change in AFR's, about a full point at peak torque...

i wish i could log it and see what the timing is doing....

anyway, here is the chart....

pretty happy... 278/278... were the highest peak numbers, but i never post the absolute highest pull for testing.

Chad those are gains from the filter or from filter + moving to MBC?

 

cheep and easy power!

 

Bryan,

those are filter/mbc/wg adjustment
..

im going to hook the stock solenoid back up and retest when i have time, but the X is on the scales right now.

so the real question is how much power did the filter give, and how much did the other adjustments make...

 

im going to do more testing..

when i first got the car, i through a filter on it (from spt), and it picked up about 18whp.

Nice, an intake.

 

niceee

 

Chad, are these numbers made with the WG tightened one turn like you had it in the other thread, or has it been tightened even more since then?

 

so a 40$ filter> $250 intake
